Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep) is the first female publisher of The Washington Post. With help from editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks), Graham uncovers a massive cover-up of government secrets that spans three decades and four U.S. presidents. Faced with the dilemma of publishing the truth and possibly facing a lawsuit that could close the paper down or burying the information, Graham must make a career defining decision. Bold and intelligent film making from Steven Spielberg.
